Solidworks 3D modeling and thermal simulation-driven Ladle Refractory engineering for 200-300 ton steel ladle — 30% reduced refractory cost, 30% reduced downtime.
Ladle Engineering Technology Background
Through the establishment of model analysis, our Ladle Refractory engineering positively reduces the cost of ladle refractory and reduces the difficulty of masonry operation. Our team accurately grasps the simulation of refractory materials in various parts of the ladle, and formulates reasonable ladle refractory material distribution and detailed material improvement programs according to the trial operation of the model.
The application and secondary development of design software greatly improve the efficiency of actual drawing and the accuracy of design paper. With the extensive application of solid modeling system and simulation analysis design of Solidworks 3D software, design drawing for complex equipment has been enhanced with improved accuracy, credibility, and intuitiveness. The degree of theoretical analysis and engineering applications has been greatly enhanced.
Our 3D thermal modeling of Ladle Refractory linings allows precise identification of critical wear zones, enabling optimized material selection for slag line, sidewall, and bottom impact areas.
